History

It was created as a result of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement in 1984, negotiated between the Canadian Government and the Inuvialuit of the Northern Yukon. It is the first national park in Canada to be established as a result of an Indigenous People land claims agreement.

How is the Landscape of Ivvavik National Park

Ivvavik contains the British Mountains which run east to west, parallel to the Arctic coast and merge into the Brooks Range in Alaska. Draining north through the park from the British Mountains is the Firth River and the oldest river in Canada and considered one of the great rafting rivers of the world. The river starts from year-round aufeis formations at the headwaters and then flows through extensive canyon areas before forming a huge delta as it enters the Beaufort Sea just west of Herschel Island. The first raft descent was by Martyn Williams, Alan Dennis and Jim Boyde. Gold miners have operated on the Firth River and at Sheep Creek until the area became a national park.

On the south-east, Ivvavik National Park borders Vuntut National Park, established in 1995. Due to land claims negotiations, Vuntut is still quite undeveloped and has no roads or developed trails. Due to its undeveloped nature, several people have gotten lost and are presumed dead.

Flora and fauna

The area around Sheep Creek is the northern-most extension of Dall sheep habitat in Canada

The park contains many cultural sites of continuing importance to the local indigenous people, both Inuit and Indian. Protecting a portion of the calving grounds of the Porcupine caribou herd and the park allows only a minimal number of people to visit per year.

On the shore of Beaufort Sea and there is abundant game for timber wolves, grizzly bears, and black bears that inhabit the area. Other animals that inhabit this park are red foxes, Alaskan moose, lemmings, Arctic foxes, Dall sheep, gyrfalcons, muskoxen, and wolverines. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge lies just across the border in Alaska.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Ivvavik National Park

• Hiking - Wildlife viewing, photography and birding are all popular activities for visitors travelling on foot. You are likely to see some of the natural inhabitants of the park, such as caribou, grizzly bears, wolves, foxes, muskoxen, gyrfalcons, and golden eagles. The hiking season extends from mid-June until mid-August. A particularly beautiful time to visit is the end of June and early July, when the tundra is carpeted with wildflowers and the caribou are migrating through the park. Hikes can be extended into the third week of August when the autumn colours are at their peak. However, hikers who are en route that late in the season must be prepared for winter-like conditions and delays due to heavy fog. There are no designated trails in Ivvavik: you follow approximate routes, directions, and monuments such as creeks, rivers, valleys, lakes, eskers, and hills. Investigate your intended hiking route thoroughly using topographic maps and, if feasible, air photos. Contact the Park Office to discuss your plans. You must supply a detailed description of your planned route on 1:50 000 scale before your departure to the park. Air access points for hiking include Sheep Creek, Margaret Lake, Komakuk Beach and Stokes Point.

• Rafting the Firth River to the Arctic Ocean Plenty of rapids, canyons, and ample hiking opportunities to view wildlife. Rafting trips begin by flying into Margaret Lake in the heart of the park. Raft a succession of canyons – like the furious Class IV rapids below Sheep Creek – over the course of one or two weeks. In early summer, rafters can watch migrating caribou herds or nesting raptors. Late summer paddlers can fish for Dolly Varden char, hike jagged ridgelines, or explore Engigstciak, a dramatic peak rising from the coastal plain. Organise your own trip with experienced rafters, or sign up for a guided trip with a commercial operator.
